Hey! How’s it going? I’m in Nebraska visiting family. Yes, that drive is horrible…thanks for asking.

It’s time for another Silhouette promotion! This one involves vinyl, which is probably the thing I cut most with my machine. Check my next post for how I used vinyl as a stencil to make the Sound of Music nursery art in the DIY Blogger House, but for now here are the details on the promotion and a giveaway!

Giveaway is open to US residents age 18 and over only and closes Wednesday, August 29th at noon MST. Winner will be chosen at random using a WordPress Plugin (And The Winner Is…) and notified by email. Winner has 48 hours to respond or a new winner will be chosen.

Be sure to check back because I’ll be updating this post with other giveaways in blog land as I come across them!

For some reason (probably related to my blondeness), I forgot that when I posted my porch makeover earlier this month I was also supposed to give away a $100 gift card to Lowe’s.

So, I’m doing it now.

What’s in it for you?

A $100 Lowe’s gift card.

TO ENTER:

Leave a comment on this post telling me what “curb appeal” project you’d tackle with $100 from Lowe’s.

That’s it. Quick and easy!

Want to see what I made?

I’ll have the details for you tomorrow (plus a free download if you want to make it yourself). I’ll also be updating this post with links to the other giveaways going on in blog land as I become aware of them, so be sure to check back!

The nice folks at Silhouette offered to let me give away another Cameo and I jumped at the chance…I know how many of you are dying to get your hands on one.

The Cameo is the new and improved personal craft cutter from Silhouette. The Cameo connects to your computer allowing you to cut fonts and images in cardstock, vinyl, heat transfer material, fabric, etc. I was a HUGE fan of the Silhouette SD and I wondered just how much better the Cameo could be. The answer: WAY WAY WAY better. In addition to the bigger cutting area, it’s quieter. The blade adjustment is easier and you don’t have to worry about losing the little caps. Your media loads SO much easier and there’s a pause button. The display is lighted, in case you like to craft in the dark.

If you’re not feeling lucky and NEED to get your hands on one, here are the details on the current Silhouette promotion:

Fabric Ink Starter Kit

Silhouette Cameo + Fabric Ink Starter Kit for $299 using code “CRAP”. This promotion is valid December 29th thru January 5th. You can wait and see if you win or you can order now. Supplies for this month’s promo are limited. (Add the machine and the kit to your cart separately and then use the code at check out.) If you already have a machine (The SD or the Cameo) and just want to get your hands on some of the ink, code “CRAP” gets you 20% off any of the ink supplies (starter kit included).

WANT TO TAKE YOUR CHANCES AND TRY TO WIN ONE? HERE’S WHAT COULD BE IN IT FOR YOU:

One lucky Crap I’ve Made reader will win her (or his) very own Cameo!

Random story alert - Purple and yellow = pretty much my favorite color combination EVER. It reminds me of pansies. I owned a purple car and a purple couch at the same time. The maid of honor at my wedding wore purple and there were yellow flowers in her bouquet. Poorly scanned photographic evidence of that:

Where was I?

Oh yeah…the fabric! When Mark got back to me and told me what the nice folks at Free Spirit were willing to giveaway, I may have squealed out loud.

Are you sitting down?

(If you’re not, that’s kinda weird…who reads blogs whilst standing?)

Free Spirit has agreed to give SIX YARDS of Morning Tides to FOUR separate (and SUPER lucky) Crap I’ve Made readers!

I KNOW!!!

TO ENTER:

(Do as many or as few as you want, leave a separate comment ON THIS POST for each.)

1 – Tell me what you’d make with SIX YARDS of Morning Tides.

2 – Click on over to Mark’s blog. Leave him a comment. Tell him hello, tell a joke, compliment his designs…whatever. Just let him know you were there and you appreciate this fabulous giveaway.

I got home from 5 days in Minnesota and The Creative Connection yesterday and I’m EXHAUSTED. I’ve got a delightful trip to the DMV on the agenda this morning(license expires tomorrow), but I’ll be back with some winners and stuff later. Will free fabric hold you over until then?

Let me introduce you to Canton Village Quilt Works, one of the newest Crap I’ve Made sponsors. Canton Village Quilt Works is an online shop for ALL your quilting needs: fabric, notions, patterns, magazines…even long arm quilting and AccuQuilt die cutting.

Do you waste a lot of time standing in the aisle at the fabric store trying to decide which prints to put together? (I totally do.) Canton Village Quilt Works has an excellent selection of precuts to help with that.

Canton Village Quilt Works also has a blog chock full of quilty goodness.

What’s in it for you?

Canton Village Quilt Works has provided a Kona Cotton bundle for one lucky reader.

Pick Your Plum offers a different crafting supply type deal (at an INSANE price) every morning at 7:00 MST. I’m a little bit addicted, and most days I’m not even awake before they’re sold out (my PayPal balance is thankful). Let’s discuss a few of the things I’ve personally purchased: outdoor vinyl ($1 per sheet), heat transfer material (50% off), and most recently personalized name stamps for the kiddos ($6.50 each…and when you name your kids weird crap like I do, you know how expensive custom personalization can be).

(I heard a rumor that today’s deal is related to this picture ^)

I’m still kind of mad I missed the day they had jumbo ric rac. I LOVE ric rac. If these have already been featured, I’m mad about that, too:

And do you have any idea how hard these cupcake pop things are to find?

Thanks for sticking with me through this WordPress migration! I’ve gotten some emails about things that aren’t working, and I appreciate them. I think everything is working now, but if it’s not…you know where to find me. I’ve also gotten some feedback that people don’t like the truncated posts at the bottom of the page. I’ve got it set now so that there are three full length posts and then 3 truncated posts on the main page. If you’ve got strong feelings on that situation, shoot me an email with what you’d prefer to see (i.e. how many full length posts on the home page, how many truncated). If there’s enough of an uprising (just kidding…you all would never cause an uprising, right?), I might make a change.

UglySofa.com sells new condition slipcovers from pretty much THE most well known company out there. They refer to them as “Brand X”, in honor of the X they put on the tags to prevent returns to said company. I’m going to refer to them as Lottery Yarn, if you catch my drift. And I think you do. Right?

You start by determining if your ugly sofa has square cushions

or T cushions

and then you get shopping.

On many of the covers, they show you a real life shot of the cover on a couch, no catalog magic involved.

So, what’s in it for you?

UglySofa.com is giving THREE of you a slipcover (up to $179 retail value) of your choice!

TO ENTER:

Click on over to UglySofa.com. Have a look around. Come back and leave a comment on this post saying which slipcover you’ll pick if you win. (Entry #1)

Extra entries:

Go back to UglySofa.com. Sign up for their newsletter (left hand column). Come back and leave a comment on this post saying that you did. (Entry #2)

Giveaway will run for one week. I’d also like to point out that UglySofa.com is running a ridiculously good sale right now where all one piece slipcovers are $29.99 and all separate seat slipcovers are $49.99. (If you’ve ever priced slipcovers before, you know what I’m talking about.)
